LDK 31 & 32 – Kessie Carroll

We’re delighted to have contemporary fantasy author K.M. (aka Kessie) Carroll on our show this week! After we discuss the heat in Arizona (where Kessie lives), and Aaron gives Liberty a really hard time, we actually get down to the business of the day.

In Episode 31

The Spacetime Legacy, Kessie’s urban fantasy series, and her wish to see it in a Manga form.

The origins of her series

Sacrificial cars

Superstition Mountains (super creepy stories!)

Arizona Vortexes (No, not that kind…)

Classic Batman show from the 1960s…and her kids’ likely reaction to watching the show. (Hilarity ensues.)

Kessie’s Doctor (Who)

Writing with 5 kids (great advice for ALL of us parents.)

Scrivener for iOS (Which should be out by the time you can hear this! Yay!)

Discussing Jim Butcher (some of it got cut…if our listeners could be flies on the walls during our intermissions!)

In Episode 32

Overly suggestive book titles for outlining (Take Off Your Pants)

Dealing with writer’s block, and why it may be happening.

Kessie’s ideal Chai latte, as well as hot chocolate

How a city might respond to a zombie apocalypse.

E-Reader News Today & Pixel of Ink going belly up. 😦

A very unusual answer to our fandom question. 🙂

When readers read into your books deeper than you intended. Lots of funnies.
